This was a meme that made me start looking into having ADHD.
I always thought it was because I was an introvert.
I described it to a few folk, and they were like "I don't think that's being an introvert".
More Google led to "waiting mode" which describes it perfectly.
Everything from a weekend being "the only commitment is work on Monday, so I better do nothing to make sure I make the most of it". Through "dentist at 13.00, might as well have a lie in" and still being late.
I don't think it necessarily indicates ADHD. I mean, obviously it will depend on the person and for some it might. But for me, having something scheduled to do later in the day will mean I can't fully relax until it's complete. If I get it out of the way in the morning, then I can relax.
It's part of the reason when I was in school I could never really relax, even though I wasn't necessarily doing things all the time. I have a job that I physically can't take home so I can just chill at the end of the day.
